    I am so lost for words. Dad I wish that there would have been more time so I could have talked to you more. There was so much that I needed to no and now there is is empty spot in my heart. At least I got to stand by your side through your last few hours and when you took your last breath. It was so hard to say goodbye to you. At least you are pain free now and the best thing is that you are with the love of your life, my mom. She was there when you left us to take you to your new home in heaven. Dad I will miss and love you forever. Till we meet again. Loved and Missed from your daughter Darlene…

    Dearest Hollis
    Although I only knew Ralph for a short amount of time the highlights of that time were the talks he and I had .Talks that I honestly am going to miss . He told me once I was his “Special Friend ” (lol) . He was such a kind , gentle man . I can recall the many times he told me how much he Loved you HOLLIS and how thankful he was to have you in his life . You will see him again one day Hollis my friend and it will seem like you were never parted . All my Love .
    Sincerely
    Wanda J Horton
